I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Much love and many thanks to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America. This is the beginning. This is when I get started every single weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. I hope you had a terrific Thursday.
If not, let me try to help you out just a little bit. Thank you so much to super producer and host Ryan Hickey holding it down for us in New York City. And thank you again to you because if you ain't here, there is no show.
And so I appreciate that. You can always listen on the free Odyssey app. You can lock in on your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate. You got Sirius XM, you got that money to pay for it.
Good for you. It's Channel 158. And if you got a smart speaker, ask the speaker to play the Infinity Sports Network. It's not that difficult.
It's rather easy. We got a busy show. More NFL training camp news. Jerry Jones is saying crazy things because this is what old people do. Kirk Cousins here in Atlanta, he's ready to play. Are they going to let him play? Justin Fields had to run the first team today in Pittsburgh. Why wasn't Russell Wilson playing? We'll tell you later on in the show.
Shane Steichen, excited about Anthony Richardson is going to let this man run wild. Kevin Durant has some comments about whether or not he's going to play. Steve Kerr has some comments on why Team USA is playing all these damn close games. Danny Lanning is talking about people buying players or how you state is buying all of their players. The NBA TV deal.
We got some details and then we got a lot of guests. How about this next hour? Leroy Hoard is going to come through and join us.
Leroy, my bad. Used to watch him with the Vikings. He's going to come through and chat Vikings with us next hour. Two hours from now, Ryan Wood is going to come through with us. Talk to us about everything going on in Green Bay. It looks like Jordan Love's contract is just about done sooner rather than later. RJ Ochoa is going to join us later on in the show to talk about the Dallas Cowboys.
Because I told you Jerry Jones, he's been saying crazy things, but that's always what the guy does. So we got a full show for you. If you want to participate, it's real simple. It's 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. You can also find me everywhere.
I'm online. I am at JR Sport Reef. And how about this? I didn't even realize this until now.
I'm sitting in the studio. I didn't know the Little League World Series was going on. Good for them. I get to see the future MLB players, or at least one or two of them.
I don't know. Anyway, we also had some big news this afternoon. I had a chance to watch the last two innings while I worked. Dylan Cease, a no-hitter. Congratulations to the San Diego Padres.
This will probably be the most exciting thing that happens all season. I'm sorry. My bad.
Anyway, super producer and host, Ryan Hickey. How you doing? I am good, JR.
I'm doing well. Still, I shouldn't be. But yet, here I am still flabbergasted at trying to understand what Jerry Jones is trying to articulate. I don't know what he's meaning. He says a lot of crazy things. I think he called himself Patrick Mahomes in one quote. That's a hell of a comparison. Yeah, I'm left honestly dumbfounded at this point of what he's saying. It's crazy. He is the Patrick Mahomes of NFL owners reading the free agent market and landscape.
That's what he said. Is Georgia Tech still running the triple option? I guess if he has any eligibility left, he can come back or maybe go to Navy and just run that option that he talks about, that he runs every day as the Cowboys owner and GM. Maybe he could do it on the field again. Can he run? He claims he's running to the sideline.
I don't know if... You know what? Let's talk about the crazy man next break. But before we do that, let's listen to Jerry Jones, the gift that keeps on giving. This man is talking about all of his uh contract negotiations with Micah Parsons.
Talking about CeeDee Lamb, who by the way is working out in Houston, Texas. Jerry Jones said, I am surveying the landscape to pay my players like I am Patrick Mahomes. Listen to this. In my life, played option quarterback so many times and wait until the last leaf on the tree. And I, if you want to picture an option, pure option quarterback going out to the sideline, I have run that ball and kept it and not hand it off to the back, not pitch it back, not throw it. And I have run that thing all the way out to the sideline before I made the decision.
Because I couldn't make, I couldn't get whatever it took to, it wasn't right for me to make the decision. And so what our fans, what you're seeing, what we deal with is we're buying time. We're option quarterbacking and we're going on out towards the sideline and we haven't handed it off. We haven't pitched it.
We're trying to make our mind up what to do. Does that sound like Mahomes to you? Uh, no, no, it doesn't. Now I know this man, he played football in what, high school and college in Arkansas. Maybe he was having a flashback.
Hickey, I didn't know that he played quarterback. No, no idea. Neither, neither did I. Thank you, Jerry, for that back in like 1950. Appreciate the thought. You think it's 1950 or further, further back maybe. Right. Maybe.
I mean, actually, I think I was kind of, I thought it was being rude. Maybe, I mean, maybe yeah. Oh no, no, no, no.
Later. It probably is honestly right around the 60s maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was born in 1942.
The invention of the forward pass. Yeah. It's the 60s. He's doing something in the 60s. Good for him. He's still here.
I guess that's all that matters. We'll, we'll, we'll make fun of Jerry Jones some more, or at least tell you some facts in the, in the next break as he, uh, try to give an update on free agent negotiate negotiations. Um, yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll get into Jerry Jones. Let's talk about something positive that happened this afternoon. Dylan sees the man through the second no hitter in Padres history. You got to go back to 2021 and Joe Musgrove was, was standing right there in a dugout to see it, which was pretty hilarious. He's the last one to throw a no hitter and the first one for the Padres in 2021. And so Dylan cease in Washington, our nation's Capitol Padres beat the Nats three to nothing. Dylan cease all nine innings, nine strikeouts. It wasn't a perfecto because he walked three guys and he did it on 114 pitches.
Let's listen to the positive. This is the final call from the Padres radio network. Here's the one and Oh, Abraham swings, lines it into right field. Johnson coming on.
He's got it in the ball game is over. Dylan C says no hit the Washington nationals on a rainy Thursday in DC. The Padres will celebrate.
They have mob cease on the infield and the pods sweep the Nats with a three nothing victory. Man. I was watching this game. Hickey, did you see, I hear people were all of those folks, like from the Padres dugout. Only the three people in behind though, or right below the broadcast booth. Oh my God.
I watched the game and I said, first one I started watching. I'm like, okay, where are they at? Okay. They're they're here in on the East coast. And I said, okay, they're in DC. And then I said, where the hell is everybody? I thought kids are in summer camp.
Why like, why don't you got kids out there? That was pathetic looking rain. I guess the rain scared him away and unfortunately miss history.
That's right. There was a almost 90 minute rain delay at the start of the game. And if we know anything about pitchers, they're creatures of habits are creatures of habit. If you get pushed back by 90 minutes, your whole preparation and your warmup gets thrown out of whack.
But in the case of Dylan cease, it actually may be worked out to his advantage. And the fact is this man threw 94 pitches through seven innings. That's not exactly a I'm going to get through an eighth and a ninth inning to complete a no hitter. It was only what three weeks ago, a month ago, less, probably three weeks that we talked about Paul Skeans out there for the Pittsburgh pirates. This man was at like 99 pitches in seven innings and people were complaining. Oh my God, you got to leave him in there for no hitter. You got to leave him in. Well, the difference is Paul Skeans is already one of the best pitchers in the game.
Dylan C says has been that he's 28 years old. He's basically playing for a contract. He was traded from the White Sox to the Padres like the day before the season officially started. He ain't got nothing to do but go out there and play for money.
And so they let him. I mean, in his past three games, he has not allowed a run. He hasn't allowed a run in 22 consecutive innings to borrow a phrase from NBA Jam, because there's no equivalent to baseball.
Dylan ceases on fire. He is. And he was even worried that in that seventh inning, he wasn't going to get a chance to go out there. Listen to what he had to say.
He thought he was going to get the boot. He said, nice job. And I looked up and it was like 94 pitches. And I said, I just said, I feel great.
And if we get through the next one in like 105, then I, you know, I've thrown 113 this year. And so he, thankfully they let me talk him into it. And then here we are. He's talking about manager Mike Schilt. And Mike Schilt gave his side of the story as well. Mike Schilt said, you damn right I almost pulled him after the seventh inning. Candidly, there was a back and forth after the seventh with him in a very healthy way, because in my mind, you know, he's at 94 pitches.
I'm factoring in the beginning of the game, looking to the long view of the season. But immediately he was convicted, like, I'm going back out. I'm like, no, I'm going back out.
And he comes in. I'm like, I think that that's good today. That's good.
You know, and I've only had one other guy ever talk to me out of it. And I would just love the conviction. I think it's important in my chair to be able to be open minded and listen to your athletes. Okay. Listen to your athletes. How about that? It's been said that he also took a look over at Joe Musgrove and Joe's like, let him, let him do it.
I did it in 2021. Let him do it. And so, man, the guy didn't throw more than I think, what, 11 and 10 pitches here to finish out the game in the final two frames. And so he threw a no hitter, 324 no hitters in Major League Baseball history. And this is similar to what we heard a few weeks ago as Mike Schultz said, Hey, I'm not worried about how many pitches the man threw. I was actually evaluating what he was doing. How did he feel?
How did he look? Yeah. A baseball manager, not relying on stats and numbers, but actually using his eyeballs to help dictate his decisions. Listen to this.
I didn't have a number in mind necessarily, but it wasn't going to get in the, you know, in the high twenties or thirties or anything like that. And we, you know, it just, it's a, you know, slippery slope. But the other thing about it is that you would expect a no hitter, not a ton of stress.
So that part you could justify. Good for him. I'm happy. I got to tell you though, I feel like we have so many no hitters. Like, are they special? Hell yeah, they're special. And watch some guy call it. No, hitters are special.
JR, what are you talking about? I know hitters are very, yeah, they are. But I feel like the frequency of which we have them right now is just like, come on. We've had two this season already.
Hickey, what was it? I think it was a 2020, 2021. Well, not the pandemic year. I think the year after or before it was like, we had a no hitter every other month. You remember that? That was crazy. Yeah.
It was like what, 10 or 11? Yeah. Like every week? It got, it got nutty. And so yes, it's special. But in a modern era where everybody is swinging for the fences and nobody is swinging for contact, we just, we're going to have more and more and more.
Oh my God, look at this. Just last season, we had count them one, two, three. We had four no hitters last year. We have two so far this year. Would I be shocked if we got another one?
Hell no. If I go to 2022, one, two, three, four. We had four no hitters. Four. And the funny part is the Houston Astros had two of them. Combined no hitters.
I hate those. If you go to 2020, yeah, 2021 was the year. Hickey's absolutely right. One. Starting off with Joe Musgrove. Two. Rodon.
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. What the hell? Come on now.
Hickey, that's why I said, and I don't, I don't know what's going to happen with Paul Skeans, but that's why I'm like, just the guy's going to have one one day if it's meant for him. We don't, we don't got to let him pitch because everybody throws a no hitter. Everybody. Me and you, me and you can go combined. You want to play for the Mets? Sure. Oh, I'd love to. I'd love to. I'll close it out.
You start it. You, you'll close. I got to, I got to do how many? I got to do eight innings.
No, no, we'll split it. Like you go six. I'll go three, six. You go five.
I go four. Okay. That let's do, no, let's do home team. That way we only got to do, what is it? No, we still got to do. I don't like, yeah, I'm trying. Yeah. I'm like, damn, we're screwed.
Why do you want to lose it? I try to lose the game, but when like you walk four guys in a row, you walk in a run, but you still throw a no hitter and you lose the game like one nothing. So you only got to pitch eight innings. I was trying to be too fancy and too creative for us to pitch eight, but that means we'd lose.
Yes, absolutely. Well, I guess we can pitch eight rain delay, cancel the game. Ah, when, when does the game official after six, right? Uh, five. If the home team's winning.
Maybe we get lucky that, that, that might be the move. So you pitch three, I'll pitch two. A massive rainstorm will come. We'll be up like 10, nothing. So it's okay. You know, this game's out of hand anyway.
Put in the books. It's too calm. We're going to have to contact China to ask them to use some of that. Uh, they, they start the rain. They put that thing up in the clouds to start the rain, right? You're right. Yeah. It's a little too complicated.
This might, this might trigger an international incident. So let, let, let somebody else pitch it. Congratulations to Dylan cease.
The man went out there through a no hitter. Always, always fun to see. I just got to be honest. Is it still special?
Yes. 324 of them in major league baseball history, but it feels like any given year, we just going to have two or three or four or nine. Cause all these damn batters do nowadays. They just swing no discipline, just swinging, swinging away, making it easier for all these damn pitchers, including Dylan cease, Dylan cease was a damn good one.
It's crazy. The man was second in Cy Young voting a couple of years ago with the White Sox. And it's just like, he doesn't get the accolades.
I feel that he deserves, maybe he'll get it in the form of cash later this year, or at least over the winter. Mr. JR sport brief show here with you on the infinity sports network. Hopefully you get into a lot of cash. We're going to take a break and we come back. We talked about it a little bit. Jerry Jones is talking about cash. How much cash he has to pay deck, how much cash he has to pay CD lamb, how much cash he has to go out there and continue to pay everybody.
And how does he describe it in funny ways? We'll talk about it on the other side of the break. Welcome.
It's the JR sport re-show here on the infinity sports network. Hi, I'm Angie Hicks. Co-founder of Angie. When you use Angie for your home projects, you know, all your jobs will be done well.

We're drawn to nature, whether it's the recorded sounds of the ocean, we doze off to, or the succulents that adorn our homes. Nature makes all of our lives well better. Despite all this, we often go about our busy lives removed from it, but the outdoors is closer than we realize with all trails.

That's 855-212-4227. Oh, we've got a busy afternoon. Dylan Cease throws a no hitter for the Padres. Got a lot of NFL updates. We'll get into Kirk Cousins. We'll talk about Justin Fields. Leroy Hoard is going to join us next hour to talk dolphins. Hopefully he doesn't run me over. I'm not a linebacker, so he won't hit me. And so we got a lot to do.
But right now it's time to get into something very important. Yesterday I gave you a top six list as we took a look at some of the NFL teams who are in or facing the most turmoil. You know, and I gave you the New York Jets at number one and not too far behind. And number two, I gave you the Dallas Cowboys. Now we know the Dallas Cowboys are set up just about every year to go 12 and five and then go to the playoffs and disappoint you.
Like last year when they got waxed by the Green Bay Packers. And so knowing that the Dallas Cowboys are heading into another season, an off season full of drama, Mike McCarthy was left twisting in the wind. Jerry Jones brings him back. No contract extension.
Everybody's like he's going to fire him, but he's like, no, I'm going to keep the guy for one year so I could torture him. Dak Prescott doesn't have a new contract. Michael Parsons don't have a new deal. CeeDee Lamb is not with the team. Practicing in Oxnard, California, because he wants a new contract. I'm sure he wants to make $35 million a year like Justin Jefferson.
And so CeeDee Lamb is in Houston, Texas, working out on his own. And so Jerry Jones today graced everybody, everybody with his presence. As Mike McCarthy sat on a stage right next to him, Mike McCarthy had to do what all of us did. Listen to Jerry Jones be absolutely hilarious. OK, first of all, let's get to this. Let's listen to his son first, because I think his son might make a little bit more sense.
His son, Steven, he told everybody nothing is shocking. He said CeeDee Lamb and Michael Parsons, they want a lot of money. They want a whole lot of money. Listen to this.
I have a very unique situation. You have a quarterback who played at the top of his game last year, second MVP voting, who can leave. And then we got two players who can't leave here for three years. Theoretical, if we didn't sign either one of them, I guess we couldn't franchise one three years from now. But we could sign one of them and both of them, rightfully so, believe they should be the highest paid nine quarterback in the league. And totally respect that.
So very difficult situations that we're trying to work through with them. OK, so CeeDee Lamb, work through with them. OK, sure, everybody look, Justin Jefferson at the wide receiver position is making thirty five million dollars a year. That's Justin Jefferson, OK? If I got to think about the highest paid edge rusher in the NFL, that's Nick Bosa. He is making thirty four million dollars a year. And so if you are the Dallas Cowboys and you think about the cash and you think about the money, CeeDee Lamb wants to make more than thirty five. Michael Parsons wants to make at least minimum thirty five so he can make more money than Nick Bosa. Well, and Dak Prescott, come on now, Dak Prescott probably wants sixty million dollars a year. The highest paid quarterbacks right now are making fifty five.
Dak, you got to start at sixty and settle for fifty seven. I don't know. And so this is where things get interesting. Because Jerry Jones says I know everything. Jerry Jones says I done been here before.
I done seen it all. Jerry Jones, this man and hear it again. He says that he is surveying the landscape and getting ready to pay his players like he is Patrick Mahomes. In my life, played option quarterback so many times and wait until the last leaf on the tree. And if you want to picture an option, pure option quarterback going out to the sideline, I have run that ball and kept it and not handed off to the back, not pitch it back, not throw it. And I have run that thing all the way out to the sideline before I made the decision, because I couldn't make I couldn't get whatever it took to. It wasn't right for me to make the decision. And so what our fans, what you're saying, what we deal with is we're buying time, we're option quarterbacking and we're going on out towards the sideline and we have handed it off and pitched it.
We're trying to make our mind up what to do. Does that sound like Mahomes to you? No, it doesn't sound like Patrick Mahomes to me. But what you sound like is another crazy old man.
That's what you sound like. And Jerry Jones continued on and talked about the pressure that the Dallas Cowboys always face. He talked about the expectations about going to the postseason. Jerry Jones told everybody that he is all in on winning this season. And he explained what the hell he means by by all in.
Listen to this. I'm all in. I'm all in. Sometimes being all in means you narrow.
You remove the months out here that are in the future and you narrow it down to where all we're talking about is right now in the next playoff season. And that's it for everybody. We're all in. We're all in. It's all right there. Let's, let's, let's, okay. We all got some things out here in the future, another two or three years on contracts, all that stuff. Let's all get in here. 0 right now in this. Dak's got his year contract. Let's focus right here.
We all got a lot on the line for that playoff game. A lot of it. So you've got to understand a weird way of looking at it. What? They made fun of this man today. They made fun of this man.
All in? What is he? He's just rambling. Is this what he does when, Hickey, this is what he does when he's on the radio down in Dallas. This is what he does, I think in life, period. Ramble? Anyone asks him a question, you're not getting an answer, but you're going to get three minutes of babble. Is it, is it even appropriate to call it a jerryism or like, what do we call this?
I guess she wants to be kind. So people found out that he utilizes the phrase all in like every year and the Cowboys go absolutely nowhere. I mean, if you take a listen to this, the past few years, I'm talking about the past three years, all Jerry Jones has talked about is being all in.
Where's it got them nowhere? Listen to this of what CBS put together. We'll be all in. I would anticipate we'll be all in at the end of this year. We'll be going all in.
We'll be going all in on different people than you've done in the past. All in, all in, all in. We're all in with these young guys coming up and we're all in with this draft. We're all in with knowing that you have to go. I'm all in. I'm all in. Sometimes being all in means you narrow and you narrow it down to where all we're talking about is right now. And the next playoff season, we're all in.
We're all in. You can't even make that up. This guy's a cartoon character. Like Jerry Jones is not a real person. He's a cartoon character. He's like Foghorn Leghorn or Elmer Fudd.
I mean, I know South Park actually, you know, they portrayed him and not nicely, I might add. He's not a piece. He's just a caricature of an owner.
Is it not a real one? Just a caricature. Fair description. And poor Mike McCarthy.
Did you see he sat there with shades on just sitting there going, Oh, this guy signs my checks. I have to just deal with this for another. Oh, we got eight more months. He has to do this.
What is this? July, July, August, September, October, November, December. He got about six or seven months before he gets fired. He's just going to grin and bear it until he gets the boot. Dallas Cowboys are the world's, well, I'm not going to call them the world's biggest joke. Jerry Jones just keeps things interesting.
Bold prediction. Dallas Cowboys win 10 to 12 games. They get into the postseason. And then they lose. That's just the Dallas Cowboys way.
I don't expect anything different. And I know what I'll hear again next year. I'm going to hear Jerry Jones do this. Tell us all about being all in.
Do this. Tell us all about being all in. I'm all in. I'm all in. Sometimes being all in means you narrow, you remove the months out here that are in the future.
And you narrow it down to where all we're talking about is right now in the next playoff season. And that's it for everybody. We're all in. We're all in. It's all right there. Let's, okay.
We all got some things out here in the future, another two or three years on contracts, all that stuff. Let's all get in here. Zero right now in this.
Dak's got his year contract. Let's focus right here. We all got a lot on the line for that playoff game. A lot of it.
So you've got to understand a weird way of looking at it. Just all in. You're going to repeat the same damn thing next year.
It's the JR sport B show here with you on the infinity sports network. We are all in. We are going to take a break.
We come back on the other side. Hey, we're going to talk about a team right here with me in Atlanta, Georgia. We're going to talk about the Falcons because they just, well, they signed a quarterback and I thought they were all in until they drafted another quarterback. And then the new guy, they don't want to let him play until, well, we're talking about Kirk cousins. I think he's all in.
And I think the Falcons are all in on him too. We'll get into that in the next break. It's the JR sport re show on the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief, the JR sport brief show here with you on the infinity sports network. We just went to Jerry's world, talked about the Cowboys, got an update from him.
Not much of an update. He compared himself to Patrick Mahomes and how he is surveying the landscape, you know, the market to pay his quarterback, his edge rusher, and his wide receiver. At least he didn't compare it to being born. But thank you, Jim Harbaugh from yesterday. We also talked about Dylan cease, the no hitter that he threw earlier today for the Padres. Congratulations to him.
A second, no hitter in Padres history. And Jerry Jones just told us that he is all in here in Atlanta, Georgia. We got a guy who's all in as well. New team, new city first go round. His name is Kirk cousins. And for a Falcons team that had the suffer last year at the quarterback position, having Kirk cousins come in and then drafting Michael Pennix junior left a lot of people scratching their heads. It's like, well, do you really have faith in Kirk cousins after this man blew out his Achilles in October?
Are you hoping to stash away Michael Pennix junior? And how many years do you hope that he sits behind Kirk cousins? I guess we'll figure that out sooner than later. Time and football has a way of working things out. Not that I'm wishing injury on Kirk cousins, but today Kirk cousins was available today. Kirk cousins. We found out that he's a full go with his new teammates throwing the ball accurately. Dare I say to Drake London, Rondell Moore and Kyle Pitts, handing it off to someone who's going to be one of the best already is one of the best running backs in the league. Bijan Robinson. And so early and so earlier today.
Kirk cousins. He says he feels real good at the start of camp. Great to get back out here. Obviously in my situation, it's just great to be moving around in football cleats again and feeling stronger.
Being able to compare it to six weeks ago, I feel much more athletic and much less pain. And so it's just exciting to be back in it and I'm expecting to be able to practice full go here and heaven forbid there would be a setback. Outside of that, I feel ready to go.
Outside of that, I feel ready to go. This man blew out his Achilles. Kirk Cousins turns 36 years old. Next month, a few weeks, he turns 36 in August.
I mean, God bless him. He's not Aaron Rogers here. He's not no Aaron Rogers type problems. He's just a little bit younger. There's some concerns of how is he going to hold up? How is he going to bounce back? And so one thing that we learned is that Kirk Cousins wants to play preseason. His head coach, first year here, back with the Atlanta Falcons, full time head coach. Rahim Morris said, you ain't playing no preseason.
No. Rahim Morris did say he can participate and do everything else in camp. No limitations.
I think the precaution of Kirk, I think it was pretty much helpful from how we go about business of not keeping people away from him. And now there'll be people that'll be around him and you feel comfortable with that and moving forward and doing some of those things. You know, obviously some of his limitations are coming on individual drills, some of our movement, making sure we don't wear them out to the point that we want to get all the team reps with him. So he's hard on the team's part of the limitations for him.
You won't notice either. Yeah, just you just can't play. And you know what, if you're the Atlanta Falcons, is this not a good idea? Don't you want to just throw Pennix Junior out there or is that a bad idea? Are you not fanning the flames for a quarterback controversy?
Hmm. If Pennix goes out there and he just lights it up and I get it, it's preseason. Either way, fans are going to be clamoring to see him at some point. If he stinks, I guess it's no big deal. Like Michael Pennix Jr., he's the one that needs reps. And this is why what the Falcons did instead of grabbing, I don't know, like a Dallas Turner by bringing in Michael Pennix Jr., they have built in a quarterback controversy. Every time Kirk Cousins has a misstep and every time he throws an interception or dare I say, any time that Kirk Cousins feels a tweak or twinge in his leg, people are going to be going, hey, put Michael Pennix Jr. out there.
The Falcons have created a quarterback controversy and we're finally going to see it come to life. Hickey, what do you think they should do in the preseason? You got to give Pennix as many snaps as possible, right?
Yeah, absolutely. The one thing is like with Kirk now being out for so long and his age and getting it into a new system, I don't think it's the worst thing for him to knock some rust off in the preseason, play a little bit. I guess it's a risk either way because if he doesn't look good and Pennix looks good, fans are going to call for him. But if Pennix looks good, whether they see Kirk or not, they're going to call for him. So I think if you're Rahim, you got to do the best thing possible to make sure Cousins is ready to go week one. If Kirk wants to play like you said he does, I would not hold him out. Maybe limit, but I would have played him in the preseason. Well, put him in a last game or something like what do you even do? I mean, even I mean, was it three games? Maybe the first game, the third game, first game, second game. And you know, I have to play him a ton, maybe a quarter each time. But do you really want the first true like live reps to be in week one?
They're going to do it. I mean, I guess everybody plays so much of of patty cake football that we can't we can't put our guy out in preseason. Only dudes in preseason are rookies and guys who are trying to make the team like I would understand put Kirk Cousins out there, maybe play him in game two and then just don't do anything after that.
I do agree. Like, don't don't let the first live action be in the regular season. I don't know.
Hickey, let me tell you something. The Falcons do dumb stuff, OK? I'm just saying like, what I understand why they drafted him, but it wasn't necessary. Like, why did they just they just gave Kirk Cousins one hundred and eighty million dollars? Why the hell are they drafting a rookie QB?
I understand the logic and the reasoning. It's just like, oh, well, we had Heineke last year. Can't have that crap again. Like, what are we doing? Had that ritter out there. Can't have that crap again. And so now they're trying to atone for their mistakes by trying to overreact for the future.
Overcompensate is the word. Like, what are they what are they doing? Pennix Junior is, Hickey, I got to tell you, the fans will be yelling for Pennix as soon as possible, unless he plays like garbage in the preseason. Even if the man goes zero and zero, doesn't throw a touchdown, doesn't throw an interception, people will be screaming for him. People will be screaming for him the minute that Kirk Cousins has a confused look on his face.
It's inevitable. And yeah, there's no way in hell I could have put the Falcons on the list yesterday as a team in turmoil. But the fact is, they just do dumb stuff. Like, I couldn't put the Jacksonville Jaguars on the list yesterday, and I think they got some of the dumbest ownership in the entire NFL.
We talked about this last week. Aren't they suing the guy who stole from them? They're suing him, right?
They are for like triple the amount that he stole. Jaguars are just out here suing everybody. They first tried to sue DraftKings. I think that's the company that the guy invested the money into, I believe. Donated is another term as well. Donated. He wasted his money. He bet his money poorly. And the Jacksonville Jaguars actually went to DraftKings and said, this guy committed a crime by stealing money from us. Would you mind giving us the money back?
DraftKings said, that ain't our problem. And so now they're going to the criminal who had no money in the first place. Why is he stealing?
Now they want to get 66 million dollars from him? I don't know. I think there's a tie. Stupid NFL teams. I got Jacksonville Jaguars are there. Falcons are there.
Jets, Hickey? Okay. Right. Yes. Oh, definitely. Yeah. The Jets are there.
Definitely. Jets are there. Uh-huh. Am I missing anybody? No.
I mean, you could easily argue the Cowboys right now with how they have gone about their business. I think the word stupid would definitely be a fitting adjective. Is it stupid or is it just sad at this point? It's a little bit of both.
I think it's fair. Stupid and sad. Oh, man. It's like a variety show. It's like we had Ren and Stimpy. I don't even know. What were they? What were they? Like toys? What were they?
I don't even know who you're talking about. Animals? Ren and Stimpy? Is that a show?
I have no idea. Yeah, Ren and Stimpy. It's a cartoon. Oh. They were like, you know Dumb and Dumber?
Yes. The movie? Yeah, Ren and Stimpy were just like Dumb and Dumber but for cartoons. A cartoon that probably wasn't for kids? Yeah, not for kids. It was just, it was like Dumb and Dumber but a little rat. So I don't know what these things were. Anyway, Dallas Cowboys are stupid and sad.
They can start a new show off of that. Hey, you gotta Google Ren and Stimpy, man. Come on.
I will do some homework here on the break. It's a cultural phenomenon. People that said, why is this crap on TV? We can't have this. It's ruining our kids and their lives. Ren and Stimpy, Mortal Kombat, South Park, all of those things destroyed people's lives in the 90s.
Terribly. Anyway, it's the JR sport re-show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break. When we come back, Kirk Cousins, new team, we won't see him until the regular season, probably. I'm going to tell you about a quarterback who also is on a new team and today he showed up and he was showing out. I'll tell you who it is on the other side of the break. Speaking of quarterback controversies, we'll get into that. Also Leroy Hoard is going to come through and join us to talk dolphins. What's going on with Tua? It's the JR sport re-show, the Infinity Sports Network.
